Hot Chocolate

Christmas eve is finally here and I am looking forward to many things today. Aside from opening up gifts later tonight, I’m dreaming about the food I’ll be having. I’m also thinking about a great addition to the feast: hot chocolate. If you don’t already have a steaming pot of this on your kitchen counter, I suggest you start making one right now. I listed some recipes below for something different from the classic. These range from sweet ones with caramel and even a spiked one for the adults. Keep reading and get the family to help you make a few batches of these.

2 tbsp caramel sauce

2. Add milk, vanilla, and caramel sauce.
3. Wait for mixture to cool down and then pour into a cup.

1 1/2 cup cornstarch
